HOSTNAME(1N)            COMMAND REFERENCE            HOSTNAME(1N)



NAME
     hostname - set or print name of current host system

SYNOPSIS
     hostname [ nameofhost ]

DESCRIPTION
     The hostname command prints the name of the current host, as
     given before the login prompt.  The superuser can set the
     hostname by giving an argument; this is done automatically
     at startup by /etc/rc.net, using netconfig(8N).  The
     hostname is stored in the /etc/network.conf file.

     If the hostname is changed, shutdown(8) the system and bring
     it back to multi-user mode again to restart the network
     daemons.

FILES
     /etc/network.conf
                  current host data

                    terminated.  See intro(2) for more
                    information on system errors.
